"CP", a client with Dissociative Identity Disorder, is working on changing her relationship to chronic suicidal ideation and impulsivity. In this session, she is helped to re-frame the wish to die as an expression of a suicidal part of her personality trying to control flashbacks and overwhelming emotions. This helps her more clearly differentiate the wish to live despite the self-destructive impulses. She speaks frankly about the shame evoked by traditional approaches to suicidality and how it fuels the suicidal part to desperate measures. By understanding the suicidal ideation as a communication from the suicidal part, she reports a growing ability to keep herself safe, no matter how intense the suicidal impulses.

Early childhood trauma has lasting and dramatic effects on attachment formation and on the later capacity for intimacy and mutuality. Instead of experiencing relationships as a haven of safety, traumatized couples are driven by powerful wishes for and fears of closeness. By using somatic and mindfulness-based interventions, conflictual patterns are disrupted, allowing couples to address the intense responses and impulsive reactions that undermine all sense of safety and hope and recreate the experience of threat in the body and in the relationship.

Educational Objectives:

Discuss the neurobiological consequences of traumatic experience on individuals and couples

Only 18% of Americans have sought mental health treatment of some form in the past 2 years. Contrast that percentage to people who are playing games, which is much higher. The authors contend that those in the mental health field should leverage the extensive play of online games with online mental health games. The authors review "Impact games" designed for purposes beyond entertainment.

Examples include visual special games like Tetris which may be useful in disrupting intrusive memories long after a traumatic event, as they seem to tap into same processes like EMDR. A game like Tetris could be used for sexual assault response teams, the authors contend, once research has been more established on the effectiveness. Also, games that have been created from marginalized communities such as those with mental illness, cancer, or those who identify as transgender can be empowering for the community and educational for others.

This approach is effective with male clients because it avoids pathologizing problems, and instead affirms strengths and reflects positive qualities to offset commonly negative expectations of treatment.In this phase-oriented treatment, Dr. Diana Fosha first focuses on building the relationship and establishing safety, simultaneously working with anxiety and attending to interferences with core emotion. She then helps the client to gain visceral access to experience, using moment-to-moment tracking of fluctuations in affect. Next, Dr. Fosha affirms and processes the experience of transformation by drawing attention to its positive and healing effects. Finally, the client is able to construct a coherent, cohesive narrative, with newfound personal truth and strengthened sense of self.

With practical information on how to support clients' healing processes, this book helps practitioners across a wide range of physical and medical therapies, as well as psychotherapists, to improve their practice and get better at what they do. Getting to the core of true healing, Noah Karrasch explores the essentials of effective practice that apply across all healing modalities and expands on a four step formula based on these essentials: caring about patrons, providing a safe setting, communicating with clients, and encouraging their participation in their own healing. The book also discusses the practitioner's self-understanding and self-healing work as a vital part of becoming a better provider of health and healing, and Karrasch presents a model of communication focused on recognising which of four centers (head, heart, gut, or groin) both practitioners and their clients operate from to strengthen ties between healing partners. Revealing the fundamentals of effective practice drawn from a wide range of therapies, this book provides practical advice, as well as points of reflection, for all those seeking to deepen their therapeutic practice.

He provides an overview of current best practices in school counseling and the rationale of integrating play toward supporting all students’ academic success. Dr. Green discusses the ASCA National Model and how play interventions facilitate socio-emotional support in a time-limited and focused manner. Some of the school-based topics he explores include using play to help kids cope with transitions, increase safety and stabilization, and build pro-social relationships. Finally, the program incorporates brief segments of Dr. Green’s school counseling work with a child in various scenarios outlined in the video.

However, just as our biology can sometimes go out of balance, leading our thoughts, mood or behavior to become disordered, so too can we become impaired by our experiences, so that our perception of the world becomes distressed. This is the case those who have trauma-related disorders, also known as trauma and stressor-related disorders. Individuals with these disorders are exposed to a stressful or traumatic event, leading to a variety of responses, ranging from anxiety to depression, from social withdrawal to reliving the event or events over and over again.What makes these disorders so unique is how intrinsically tied they are to their inciting incidents. This especially requires the clinician to not only be familiar with the effects of a patient's disorder but also its potential origins, and how those have altered the patient's sense of health and well-being.
